Description: Includes a vintage official travel map for Prince Edward Island, Canada’s smallest province (roughly the size of Delaware, home to just 170,000 people). The province (abbreviated as PEI) is part of Atlantic Canada, an island in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, west of Cape Breton Island and north of New Brunswick known for its beautiful beaches & bountiful seafood, its lovely pastoral setting (popularized in literature by the Anne of Green Gables novels and nicknamed the “Garden of the Gulf”), and as the “Birthplace of Confederation” because it is where the original union of Canadian provinces occurred in 1867 (from the Prince Edward Island Tourist Information Centre, 1976); and a vintage official book about Province House, the historic edifice in the center of Charlottetown (the province’s capital and largest city) where Canada’s leaders hashed out the terms of Confederation in the 1860’s, redefining their relationship to both Britain and the United States, leading to a united, independent country on America’s northern border (from Parks Canada, circa 1982); and a postcard featuring Province House, which is still used as the seat of Prince Edward Island’s Legislative Assembly (from Allied Sales, circa 2000).
